Tiramisu Speculoos

Smells realistically like cinnamon coffee biscuits, and not much else. You've got to like cinnamon because it's the most intense note in it. I'm a bit disappointed because tiramisu smell should be much more coffee forward as well as creamy and lactonic. But that seems to be missing from this fragrance. I like it but I don't love it. It's very simple and literal and I'm not sure I want to smell simply like cinnamon biscuits. I think there could be some layering combination that would bring this to the next level. I'll test and update if I find any or if it changes post maturation. Ps. This smells 50 percent like Lattafas Eclair in the air and from a distance. I'd say the base of them smells very similar. Update: I've worn this at least 5 times in the last 2 weeks of having the decant which is very unusual for me because I have over 500 perfumes. It turns out I really love this. It's long lasting and strong, and if I don't spray too much, it has a scent bubble that I can enjoy personally for at least 6 hours. It's very gourmand but it doesn't make me hungry. I'm pretty sure I need a full bottle.

if you're looking for tiramisu embodied, i'd suggest to keep searching-- this fragrance, while lovely, is much more speculoos than tiramisu to me. tiramisu speculoos is a blast of cinnamon that slowly dries down to a sweet, vanillic cookie butter on my skin. as it's sat, i do get more of the coffee than when i originally purchased it, but it's still not a strong espresso smell like in the actual espresso-soaked ladyfingers of a tiramisu. it smells more like a mexican chocolate coffee blend, just lighter in scent. very sweet, cozy gourmand that i wore a lot in the cooler weather. stayed on my clothes until next wash and had moderate lasting power on my skin with a beautiful scent trail. the bottle design, however? awful. perfume gets all over the lip(?) of the bottle when you spray it so it's constantly covered in residual product.

This was a blind buy ( as this was not on Fragrantica when I bought this) and it has turned out to be one of the best blindbuys. Creamy Tiramisu is all you get from the start to the end. Absolutely gorgeous and mind blowing. Zimaya tiramisu coco vs Tiramisu Speculoos - in the UK , Zimaya Tiramisu coco is a few bucks cheaper. It smells exact same as speculoos. However , it is less creamy and somewhat sweeter than speculoos. Surprisingly, it fades away quickly and it does not project much. I would recommend this over Zimaya Tiramisu coco. Of course ,buying both is meaningless. Performance - I get decent longevity of at least 5 hours with a great scent trail and scent bubble.

Another other edit: Y’all please pair this with an apple forward note! I didn’t have any except for Al-Rehab’s Love Apple that was collecting dust, and yeah. Thee most photorealistic apple pie scent to date. Oh yeah, this is the good stuff! If you are a gourmand girly, go for it NOW. Edit: Okay, wait! At 1st it literally gave off literal speculoos but the dry-down is cinnamon and cinnamon only....yikes. Final Edit: it is a powdery gourmand, good for laying but not as a stand alone. You get a whiff of Speculoos that excites you, but it quickly takes a backseat while the cinnamon takes over completely.

absolutely delicious, photorealistic scent. smells just like sweet cinnamon biscuits. very sweet, lots of depth, don’t detect any coffee. very, VERY cinnamon forward. surprisingly not synthetic on my skin. for no sensible reason, i was hesitant to purchase this one because the bottle made me think it would come off screechy and synthetic. i’d had it on my wishlist since it came out. decided to just blind buy, and glad i did - as very much a gourmand lover, this turned out safe for me. very much a fall/winter scent, if you subscribe to those rules.
